If your business had the same number of employees in 2025 that it had in 1970, would you even still be in business?
With federal workers weighing President Trump’s “buyout offer,” let’s dive into the numbers behind the workforce keeping the government running.
As of Nov 2024, the federal government employed over 3M people — including 2.3M full-time employees. That's 1.7% of the entire US workforce!

A state senator in Mississippi has filed a bill entitled the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.”
As written by Sen. Bradford Blackmon, the bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

Good advice for many reasons you may already suspect but I will give you another: you can run a linear regression with no inference on betas as a descriptive tool to summarize data. Regression as a summary of your data is a legit thing that we just don't make enough use of. The reason is 1/2
Save yourself time, just run a linear regression first
